The English is pretty bad, but I don't personally mind that. What I DO mind, is the leaps of logic that are required to make things happen. Certain places become unavailable once you think you're done with them, but then you get hit with dead end after dead end, only to find out that you need to go BACK to the place that was locked off and unclickable, only to see that you can NOW click on it again, with no indication that this was necessary! What's worse, is that the "hit" boxes for where you need to click and drag things to are beyond awful. You need to be -ridiculously- precise in dropping the items where the game wants you to. Right off the bat, you need to use the cane on the pine tree with the chipmunk in it, and after clicking it onto 5 different places on the branch, the hint told me I needed to put it in one, painfully specific place. I absolutely LOVE these "Hidden Object" and puzzle games, but, for the first time in my life, I'm quitting one, because it's plain awful!
This game is basically about[spoiler]replacing a village's pagan celebrations with Christian ones. The last thing you do is create a model Nativity Scene for the village.[/spoiler] This made me feel a bit weird, to be honest. I guess it's historically accurate, as many Christmas traditions originally came from pagan winter festivals. Still seems like a bit of an adult theme to put in a kids game though. Also there are grammar issues (at least in the English version) that make some of the puzzles quite frustrating. The scenery and artwork are nice to look at though.
I bought this for Christmas, expecting the same cozy holiday feeling that I got from Christmas Adventure: Candy Storm. Boy, was I wrong. This game feels like it was made by completely different people. The first thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the terrible English, it really made me want to do just about anything else other than keep playing this game. On top of that, the puzzles weren't very intuitive and ended up being frustrating at times. In particular, it greatly annoyed me when the "instruction" window (that normally describes which items one is supposed to find next to progress the Hidden Object scene) would get bugged and stop showing any text. This resulted in me having to just blindly guess my way through the rest of that scene, an annoyance that was only further exacerbated by the game's anti-spam-clicking mechanism - a 'feature' which causes the whole screen to get frozen in ice for several seconds if one clicks something other than the correct item within a short time. Needless to say, this ended up with me sitting there twiddling my thumbs more than a few times, while regretting my choice of buying this game. As for the story, I found it a bit strange and hard to follow - though after reading some of these reviews from others who actually finished the game, I'm just as glad that I never got to finish it myself. Overall, I couldn't handle more than two hours of gameplay before I had to close the game and go do something else. I decided to give it another shot a few days later, and found that my progress hadn't even been saved, so I would have to start all over again from the beginning - something I was unwilling to do. I can only assume that this was another bug, unless I had missed a "Save Game" option (which I had specifically looked for before quitting, to no avail), but either way, this was enough to completely deter me from this game that had already disappointed me. In hindsight, I really should've looked at the reviews like I tend to do before buying games, but I'll admit I excitedly bought this one without investigating it properly due to how much I liked the previous game. This one would have for sure been a refund, if only I had spent a little less time struggling with it and trying to extract some form of holiday cheer from the experience. TL;DR: Don't buy this game; buy Christmas Adventure: Candy Storm instead.
You win the game by [spoiler] "bringing the real spirit of Christmas to the pagan village" [/spoiler] (this is a quote from the game) Don't be fooled by the jolly snowman. [spoiler]He has no soul.[/spoiler]
TL:DR Buy only on sale. Be ready to be vexed and perplexed. [b] Why Game, Why? [/b] Why must you look so pretty, yet your play be so petty? Why be so fiendish with your so weird English? Why establish a rule, (make me feel such a fool) for next time I apply it you promptly deny it. Now, my rhyme scheme, is true lacks polish and hue, still it is better than you, and that's my review.
[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein Hidden Object Adventure [h1] Story [/h1] Wir spielen einen Namenlosen Charakter und sind scheinbar gerade dabei Weihnachtskarten zu schreiben als wir plötzlich in eine andere Welt hineingezogen werden. Hier bittet man uns Weihnachten zu retten, dies müssen wir auch tun damit wir wieder zurück nach Hause kommen [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Es gibt das übliche Gameplay aus Hidden Object Szenen & Minispielen. Minispiele gibt es hier allerdings nur sehr wenige und diese sind auch nicht wirklich gut zu nennen. Die Wimmelbildszenen sind völlig in Ordnung und man hat hier auch wieder etwas neues hinzugefügt und zwar muss man in jeder Wimmelbildszenen bevor man zur eigentlichen Szene kommt, immer 4 Gegenstände bestehend aus mehreren Teilen finden und meistens kombinieren, wenn man dies geschafft hat, kommt die eigentliche Szene mit jeweils 8 zu findenden Gegenständen. Ich war oft verloren und wusste nicht genau was ich als nächstes tun soll und das kommt bei mir eigentlich eher selten vor in solchen Hidden Object Adventures aber hier war es teilweise so übel das ich einen Guide zur Hilfe nehmen musste. Was mich auch frustriert hat ist, das man Gegenstände meist an einem exakten Punkt einsetzen muss damit das Spiel es realisiert. Musik & Grafik ist völlig in Ordnung [h1] Achievements [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 25 Erfolge. Hierfür muss man einfach nur das Spiel beenden und dabei alle Hidden Object Szenen ohne Tipps lösen [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Günstig + Musik OK + Grafik völlig in Ordnung + Die Wimmelbildszenen sind ganz ordentlich + Achievements - Minispiele sind nicht wirklich gut - Man weiß oft nicht was man genau tun soll - Man muss bei einigen Gegenständen die exakte Position finden sonst erkennt das Spiel es nicht an was sehr frustrierend ist [h1] Fazit [/h1] Dies ist wieder so ein Spiel wofür man eigentlich einen Neutralen Daumen bräuchte aber den gibt es ja leider nicht. Ich gebe gerade noch so einen Daumen nach oben weil die Hidden Object Szenen doch sehr ordentlich sind & das Spiel immerhin von Anfang bis Ende mit samt der Achievements funktioniert. Wer ein gutes Wimmelbild Adventure sucht ist hier wohl eher an der Falschen Adresse. Der Vorgänger "Christmas Adventure: Candy Storm" ist viel besser und Empfehlenswerter.

I really enjoyed playing Christmas Adventure: Candy Storm from the same publisher, even replayed it a few times, so I was looking forward to playing Christmas Adventures: A Winter Night's Dream. Unfortunately, compared with Candy Storm, A winter Night's Dream was a big disappointment. Firstly, story is kinda weird, or better said unclear when you play the game. There is no clear narative what you have to achieve overall. It's more a collection of separate tasks that don't have any connection between them. Looking back after going through the game, it became clear that you have to replace certain "pagan" objects with christian christmas objects but the position of those is scattered all around the game and not really making sense. I would feel much better if they were all in the same space like they usually are in homes and it would be clear from the start that this is what you have to do (find all and put them there). Secondly, the hidden object scenes take too long. All hidden object screens have two parts. In the first part you are given a kind of riddle, which you sole by finding and combining two or three objects from the scene. The second part is the "usual" hidden object puzzle where you have to find a list of items on screen. The first part is unnecessarily long and doesn't add much (if any at all) value. After finding all items for the riddle (some riddles are really strange), you have to click on those items again for the combination scene to start and play out. Too slow, too long, boring. Lastly, there is no spoken dialogs (in english, don't know if there are other lanugages) which made the game feel empty. I would prefer even poorly recorded dialogs over silence. Some dialogs disappear too quickly to read and some instructions are quite unclear. You have to be very patient and careful when placing the items on the scenes. Some scenes have a very specific area where the item will work. If you think that you have a correct item but it doesn't work the first time try clicking on different spots. Get this game if you are a completist like me, but wait for a heavy discount. Otherwise I recommend skipping it.
Не рекомендую к покупке крайне. Даже не добавляй её в список желаний! иначе случайно купишь это адское детище!!! И дело не в плохой графике или непутёвом сюжете... А дело в том что пройдя эту игру вы пройдёте логический ад, каждый раз ваш мозг будет подвергаться испытанию (насилию) - что же безумного нужно выбрать что бы отрезать сыр, если вы находитесь на кухне? Думаете знаете? А я вам скажу нет! Ракушка! Как Вам?! И многое другого от создателей этой игры, достань навозного жука из медвежьего капкана .... и д т. Я так понимаю игру пытались даже допилить, и я пришла сюда уже после ее глобального обновления. Кроме красивой красочной графики, которая как раз подкупает, тут ничего интересного. Каждый поиск вещей сопровождался насилием моего мозга. Я конечно упёртая, прошла игру, будь она не ладна. Странно что другие игры в сетки этих разработчиков вполне адекватные, и даже есть очень крутые! Создаётся впечатление что создали игру две команды, одна отвечала за картинку и механику, а вторая курила и создавала текст к квестам. А может они вместе в конце набухались и оставили её в таком виде! Я купила игру потому что она Новогодняя, не обращая внимание на отзывы, зная что не ко всем играм есть справедливые отзывы! И я хотела составить своё мнение на счёт этой игры. Так что убери мышку от слов купить и иди дальше путник, искать другие хорошие игры!
Неплохая головоломка с поиском предметов.
Leider muss ich sagen - das war eines der schlechtesten Wimmelbildspiele, die ich je gespielt habe... Die Rätsel sind sowas von unlogisch, z.B.: Ein Spoiler auf ein paar Highlighträtsel [spoiler] [list] [*]eine Schlitzschraube mit rundem Kopf wird mit einem Schraubenschlüssel herausgedreht [*]im Eis ist ein Schlüssel eingefroren. Es liegt auch eine dicke Schere herum. Man muss den ca. 10cm Eiskubus aber mit einem alten Stiefel zertrümmern [*]man muss in die Innenseite der Tasche, die zugenäht ist sehen. Hier kommt doch die Schere zum Einsatz! Oder? Nein, macht man NATÜRLICH mit einem MANSCHETTENKNOPF. Ich mein, wozu gibt es überhaupt Scheren? [*]Käse schneidet man mit Muschelschalen ab [*]Ein Papiervogel soll Pink werden. Das macht man selbstverständlich mit Rotwein, nicht mit der lila Farbe die daneben steht. Direkt daneben. [*]wer den "Violent Potion" nicht brauen kann, soll es mit dem "Violet Potion" probieren, den rote und blaue Tränke stehen rum [/list] [/spoiler] Dazu kommen mäßig spannende Szenen, z.T. nicht nachvollziehbare Klickbereiche (z.B. welches Item man zum Kombinieren als erstes anklicken muss) und das Gefühl, dass dem Spiel mehr als nur gute Rätsel und ein roter Faden fehlt. Wie konnte man nach dem guten "Candy Storm" dieses inferiore Spiel zusammenzimmern? Lasst Euch Weihnachten nicht verderben und spielt lieber etwas anderes. Gibt als Wertung schwache 2/5 ohne Walkthrough gelöste Rätsel.
